Bharateeyans could take a moment to reflect on these, it would certainly make the difference we have been striving for.

Our goal should be to ensure that our nation reclaims its status as the Guru of the whole civilization and leading the world as a true leader. Today, we have forgotten our Truth, Dharma and Duty to Society. And because of this we are unable to solve our National problems. We forget that we are nation with a soul that holds the key to the world’s prosperity and spiritual progress. Bharat is the source of all morality, spirituality and world wisdom. We should not feel disheartened when we hear of incidents in our country that contradict this. It is the test of time and we will withstand it to come out victorious.

But for this to happen, all bharateeyans must come together in an act of unity and must strive to together to regain our glory. We have won freedom but we have not achieved unity. And by unity we do not simply reduce the concept to the level of law abiding citizens who respect the constitution of the country. By unity we mean a nation that stands together irrespective of caste, creed, language or colour. The duty of every bharateeyan must be first to the nation. Because only by ensuring the victory of the nation can he ensure the security and well being of his family and the society that he lives in?

On August 13th our nation also celebrated ‘Raksha Bandhan’ symbolizing the importance we give for our relationships and values in our nation. This month, let’s tie our rakhi to the nation and take our solemn oath to protect our nation and strive for its glory.

As you read the magazine today, a group of citizens are today leading a campaign against corruption and the degraded political and bureaucratic system our country is having today. We should feel proud of their efforts. On the occasion Sri Krishna Jayanthi and Ganesh Chathurti we hope these crusaders will follow the words of the great leaders of our civilization in leading from the front and doing their karma without expecting nothing in return but the well being of the nation and citizens living in it.

Life in this world is impermanent;

Youth and wealth are transient;

wife and children are not lasting;

righteousness and renown alone are lasting

The pious month of ‘Ramayana Parayanam’ is coming to an end. It has been truly a blessing for all of us who have been able to take the penance and gone through the 31 days of daily chanting and rituals. It has been an enlightening journey for us who have listened to the various discourses during these days.

Today we have a special occasion for all of us to cheer. It is our Independence Day and we have celebrated it across the country and in many part of the world by hoisting our national flags and signing our national anthem. India is today an emerging giant in the developed world. We have made vast advances in the world of exports, technology, communication and warfare. Like most nations, we have also have share of downsides. We have lost many souls to frequent attacks on our soil and many people have lost their financial and social security due to fraud and opportunistic politics of a few.

Very often we fail to take a moment to look back as to how we attained our hard fought freedom and Independence. Many people have died for this cause. Our contributions in this issue will showcase a few of these great fighters and intellectuals who built our nation from the ruins the invaders left us. If all

A Model Village – Chitrakoot Project

As Indians we are proud to be celebrating 65 years of Indian Independence this year. In the past 65 years we have progressed a lot and are among fast developing nations. Gandhiji had envisioned a wide spectrum development for India. He had dreamt of poverty free, self-sufficient India. Though we have advanced a lot, Gandhiji’s dreams still remain unaccomplished. There are many people who are below the poverty line and are suffering. They are struggling for survival. Nanaji Deshmukh had dedicated his life to make Gandhiji’s dream come true. He had helped many villagers and adivasis to be self-reliant through his “Chitrakoot Project”.

Chitrakoot Project or the “Campaign for Self-Reliance” was launched on 26th Jan, 2005. This was a dream project of the great veteran Nanaji Deshmukh. Nanaji’s life was a mission and his mission is his life. The basis of Chitrakoot project is 'Total transformation through total development with people's initiative and participation'. He was inspired by Lokmanya Tilak and had a burning zeal for social service. Nanaji devoted his entire time to Deendayal Research Institute that he himself established way back in 1969. He established Chitarkoot Gramodya Vishwavidyalaya in Chitrakoot, India's first rural university and was its first Chancellor.

This is a unique project of overall upliftment of adivasis in Chitrakoot area of MP and UP. During the last ten years emphasis was on fulfilling the basic needs like water, food and education. This project has become a role model for all those who are keen on social service. Nanaji finally fine-tuned an integrated program for the development of rural areas that covers health, hygiene, education, agriculture, income generation, conservation of resources, and social conscience, that is both sustainable and replicable.

It would be interesting to note that the whole district uses the local panchayats to settle disputes. The law and order of district is maintained in coalition with the local government. But almost all disputes are settled before it

even reaches the courts. All 80 villages are almost free of any kind of litigations.

Nanaji had devoted his last few years for Adivasis of Chitrakoot area to make them self reliant and confident. They have progressed a lot without any government aid. He has set up small training units in various small scale industries. The adivasis are trained for bamboo work, food processing, bee keeping, bakery, tailoring, electrical repairs etc. With his wide visionary thoughts he aims at making 500 villages self sufficient in all aspects of life. By now around 80 villages are self reliant. The great effort put in by Nanaji and a few likeminded people has fruitful results.

The greatness of his thoughts is that of understanding the basic needs of society and fulfilling them. Barren lands have been turned into lush green fields. He has started residential school for Adivasi girls in the remote area. This has created awareness and confidence among the adivasi girls. The graduate couples – ‘Gramseva shilpis’ intermix and interact with the villagers and help in various fields like agriculture, health, education, child upbringing etc. He has also set up a modern and highly sophisticated hospital with all modern facilities to provide complete health care to the needy.A major development has been the setting up of a mobile three chair unit to bring treatment to most of two hundred villages within a forty mile radius, which are remote and only accessible by off-road vehicle.

Nanaji’s life and mission is an inspiration to all the youngsters. He has dedicated his life for the upbringing of the villagers and adivasis. Each of us must take a lesson from this and try to devote ourselves for the development of our motherland. Nanaji brought to life the ambition of Gandhiji. He showed the nation that the concept of ‘Gram Swaraj’ is the way forward for our sustained economic development as more than half the nation resides in the villages and survive on agriculture. In a time when we are taking over agriculture land for urban development, the Chitrakoot project is an eye opener. Nanaji’s philosophy of Integral Humanism is the sum total of various features of our Bharatiya Sanskriti. This is the ideal that determines our direction; these ideas need to be translated into practice. It needs to be grounded in realism keeping in mind the revolutionary changes happening around us.

Management Lessons of Bhagvad Gita

One of the greatest contributions of India to the world is Bhagvad Gita which is considered to be one of the ancient scriptures of the world. Gita is not meant for any person, creed, nationality or a religion, but meant for the humanity. Gita is not a religious book which talks about a god and how to attain heaven by following his dictates. Gita is a book of self discovery and inward journey into once consciousness.

To motivate Arjuna, who got mentally disturbed upon seeing those near and dear ones whom he had to kill in the war of Kurukshetra, Lord Krishna told him to perform his duty. In the eighteen chapters of Bhagwad Gita, one discovers wonderful management guidelines which are applicable even today.

Management has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or in Government. Most of the management concepts like attitude, vision, leadership, motivation, excellence, goal seeking, work ethics, nature of individual, decision making, planning etc., are discussed in the Bhagavad Gita.

One of the key characteristics that we learn in management is Mindset or Attitude. Mindset is actually how we respond to situations or the outlook we should have to respond to events. Everyday life throws up lot of situation which gives us pleasure, grief, pain, anger, success and failures. It is our mindset or attitude that helps us in responding to these events. Here in Gita, the target of Krishna’s teachings to Arjuna is on setting up the right mindset. Let me tell you why mindset matters in life? Most of the people think that it’s the numbers, strength or the wealth that matters. But if you really look

at it, each of them by themselves does not constitute power. To illustrate, there may be thousand goats at one place, but a mere sight of a tiger is what is required for mayhem. Here the majority or the numbers didn’t constitute the power or the success. If you watch huge lions in a circus cage who obey to a thin ring master, who could be easily overpowered by just a smash of a paw, we understand strength is not that matters.

The critical question in everyone’s mind is how to be effective in his job or life. Bhagavad Gita suggests 'one should always try to manage oneself'. The individual must reach a level of excellence and effectiveness which sets him apart from those whom he is managing, he must be an achiever.

Now let us re-examine some of the modern

redhish Chandran

CulturalkmwkvImcnIw

management concepts in the light of the Bhagavad Gita which is a primer of management by values.

Utilization of Available Resources

The first lesson in the management science is to choose wisely and utilize optimally the scarce resources if one has to succeed in his venture. During the curtain raiser before the Mahabharata War Duryodhana chose Sri Krishna's large army for his help while Arjuna selected Sri Krishna's wisdom for his support. This episode gives us a clue as to who is an Effective Manager.

Attitude towards Work

Three stone-cutters were engaged in erecting a temple. As usual a H.R.D. Consultant asked them what they were doing. The first one said, he is poor and need to raise some money for the family with a dejected face. The second one said, well I want to show that I am the best stone cutter with a sense of pride and the third one said, I want to build the most beautiful temple in the world with a visionary gleam.

Their jobs were identical but their perspectives were different. What Gita tells us is to develop the visionary perspective in the work we do. It tells us to develop a sense of larger vision in one's work for the common good.

Work Commitment

The popular verse of Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2 verse 47) of the Gita advises “detachment” from the fruits or results of actions performed in the course of one's duty. Being dedicated work has to mean “working for the sake of work, generating excellence for its own sake.”

The work must be done with detachment. This is because it is the Ego which spoils the work. If this is not the backbone of the Theory of Motivation which the modern scholars talk about what else is it?

Management needs those who practice what they Preach

Whatever the excellent and best ones do, the

commoners follow, so says Lord Krishna in the Gita. In one verse the Lord says "I do not need to work, yet I am working continuously, because if I stop working, everybody would do the same, resulting in total chaos "This is the leadership quality prescribed in the Gita. The visionary leader must also be a missionary, extremely practical, intensively dynamic and capable of translating dreams into reality.

The Ultimate Message of Gita for managers

Sri Krishna by sheer power of his inspiring words raised the level of Arjuna's mind from the state of inertia to the state of righteous action, from the state of faithlessness to the state of faith and self-confidence in the ultimate victory of Dharma (ethical action). They are the powerful words of courage of strength, of self confidence, of faith in one's own infinite power, of the glory, of valour in the life of active people and of the need for intense calmness in the midst of intense action.

When Arjuna got over his despondency and stood ready to fight, Sri Krishna gave him the gospel for using his spirit of intense action not for his own benefit, not for satisfying his own greed and desire, but for using his action for the good of many with faith in the ultimate victory of ethics over unethical actions and truth over untruth.

The message of the Gita is meant for people who are actively involved in the battlefield of life. This is Karma Yoga – the path of action. The Gita is meant to be studied and used by the businessman, the professional, the blue-collar employee, the housewife and by a soldier in the armed forces. This is a message for those wanting to live life to the full – not for those who want to renounce it.

I was not surprised when I read in business standard magazine that most of the corporate companies in US conducts classes of Bhagavad Gita for their employees to develop their personality and stress management skills. But the unfortunate part is we the inheritors of Bhagavad Gita are fighting in the court questioning the decision of a government to teach Gita in schools.

rajarajan Ganesan

The Rakshaa Bandhan stirs up one of the deepest and noblest emotions in the human heart - the abiding and chaste bond of love between the brother and the sister.

The delicate cord tied by the sister to the brother on this day pulsates with this sublime sentiment. History and legends of Bharat abound in touching episodes of ladies seeking protection from far-off, unacquainted heroes, though the Raakhi. A story is told of Alexander's wife approaching his mighty Hindu adversary Pururavas and tying Raakhi on his hand, seeking assurance from him for saving the life of her husband on the battlefield. And the great Hindu king, in the true traditional Kshatriya style, responded; and as the legend goes, just as he raised his hand to deliver a mortal blow to Alexander, he saw the Raakhi on his own hand and restrained from striking.

A more poignant instance is of the princess of a small Rajput principality. It speaks of the spell the Raakhi had cast even on those of alien faiths. The princess sent a Raakhi to the Moghal Emperor Humayun to save her honor from the onslaught of the Gujarat Sultan. The emperor, who was engaged in an expedition against Bengal, turned back and hastened to the rescue of his Raakhi sister. But, alas, to his utmost sorrow, he found that the kingdom had already been overrun and the princess had committed Jauhaar, i.e., leaped into the flames to save her honor.

The sister-brother relationship highlighted by the

Raakhi goes far beyond the mere personal protection of a female from a male. It also implies the basic element of an amicable and harmonious social life where all members of the society look upon themselves as brothers and sisters and as children of one common motherland.

The Raakhi function carries this social content. Particularly, the tying of Raakhi to one another signifies this social and cultural aspect. Not only does the person develop a sense of love and affection amongst themselves but they also affirm their loyalty and devotion to the society of which they are the children. Their commitment to protect each other and also the society as a whole is emphasized through this simple ceremony.

In the Indian tradition the Rakshaa has indeed assumed all aspects of protection of the forces of righteousness

from the forces of evil. Once, Yudhishthira asked Sri Krishna how best he could guard himself against impending evils and catastrophes in the coming year. Krishna advised him to observe the Rakshaa Ceremony. He also narrated an old incident to show how potent the Rakshaa is.

Once, Indra was confronted by the demon king - the Daitya-raaja - in a long-drawn battle. At one stage, the Daitya-raaja got better of Indra and drove him into wilderness. Indra, humbled and crest-fallen, sought

CulturalkmwkvImcnIw

the advice of Brihaspati, the Guru of Gods. The Guru told him to bide his time, prepare himself and then march against his adversary. He also indicated that the auspicious moment for sallying forth was the Shraavana Poornima. On that day, Shachee Devi, the wife of Indra, and Brihaspati tied Raakhis around Indra's right-wrist. Indra then advanced against the Daitya-raaja, vanquished him and reestablished his sovereignty.

The Rakshaa has several similar pauraanik associations. The following couplet is recited, especially in the northern parts, while tying the Raakhi. It denotes how the King Bali had become so powerful with the Raakhi on:

Yena baddho Balee raajaa daanavendro mahaabalah |

tena twaam anubadhnaami rakshe maa chala maa chala ||

(I am tying a Rakshaa to you, similar to the one tied to Bali the powerful king of demons. Oh Rakshaa, be firm, do not waver.)

It is not merely that the spirit of Rakshaa manifests itself on occasions of mortal peril to the life and honor of the beloved ones or to the society. It is not like the police or the militia which are expected to come to the rescue of the people in times of war or natural calamities. No, it is far more deep and all-encompassing. It is like the flow of bloodstream through every limb and organ of the body, carrying strength and nourishment to every cell thereof. As a result, even a small wound anywhere in the body is promptly attended to by the entire body. Every other limb spontaneously sacrifices a part of its blood and energy to heal that wound and keep that organ healthy and strong.

This is how the society can live and prosper amidst all kinds of challenges either from within or without. Especially, various types of internal stresses and strains which are generated in the body-politic of a nation because of ever-changing economic, political and other factors can be overcome only on the strength of this inner flow of mutual affection and amity.

With the increase of western concepts and shades of western culture slowly entering into the mental psyche of our new generation It is essential to spread the message of this important festival amongst the society. We are witnessing increased cases of immoral relationships and a casual disregard for family values and customs in our campus across the country.

Raksha bandan is not only simple custom held sacred by siblings. It has evolved into a national celebration and the bond that is being created serves as a strong relations ship within the society. This makes the society healthy, gives energy and peace.

A society imbued with this spirit will see to it that every one of its members is made happy. The idea of the bharateeyan has always been:

Sarvepi sukhinassantu, sarve santu niraamayaah |

Sarve bhadraani pashyantu, maa kashchit duhkhabhaag bhavet ||

(Let everyone be happy, let everyone be free from all ills, let everyone behold only the auspicious, let no one be afflicted.)

In short, Raksha Bandhan affords a most auspicious occasion to recharge ourselves every year with the true spirit of service and sacrifice for the welfare of the society, and find therein the highest spiritual fulfillment of human life.

The clarion call for freedom

Freedom struggles are always painted in glory in the colours of the sacrifices of many great leaders, fighters, artists and sages. It holds true for every country in the world.

In our nation many of them have been glorified by the government's that took power. Many have had their statues built across the country. Many have had their names got included based on the political affiliations, in the educational books of the new generation. Many of them have been defamed based on the ideological differences and many of them have been forgotten or erased from the memory of the nation in time. Many have been given small pensions to survive and many have been denied this too.

Today would be the ideal day for the children of India to spend some time to pay homage to the hundreds of people who laid down their life for the freedom we enjoy today. As we go through history we take a few words to remember them here.

On 3rd August, we prayed on the occasion of the maha samadhi of H.H. Swami Chinmayanandaji. Many of us wouldn't know that in his purva ashram he took part in the Quit India Movement. He used to write and distribute fiery pamphlets that inspired many. He even courageously worked in the office of the intelligence wing of the British Military as a spy. He was arrested and put in jail for his participation in the freedom struggle.

In July we also honored martyr Udham Singh or Ram Mohammed Singh Azad. He was famously known for killing Michael O'Dwyer avenging the Jallianwallah Bagh massacre. Along with many of the patriots of his time, he felt that arms struggle is the only way to gain freedom for our country from the

British. For 21 years he carried the hurt of the massacre in his heart and finally found his way to London where he took his revenge. Unfortunately many senior congress leaders at that time condemned his actions. He

was executed on 31 July 1940.

In July, the nation also forgot the birth anniversary of one of the greatest revolutionary freedom fighter of our times, Chandra Sekhar Tiwari Azad. At the height of the freedom struggle, he along with Baghat Singh, Sukhdev sparked the revolutionary struggle against the British in defiance of the non-violence call of Gandhiji. He was a mentor to the fighters. One February 31, 1931, after unsuccessfully trying to convince Jawaharlal Nehru to intervene on behalf of Baghat SIngh, he was asked to leave the residence of Nehru. Later in the day he was surrounded

by the British police in Alfred Park. In order not to be caught alive, he shot himself.

Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak was our country’s strongest proponent of the 'swaraj' principle. India today still quotes his famous lines '"Swaraj is my birth right, and I

shall have it". Tilak was of the extremist faction within the Congress that opposed the soft approach of the party. Along with Bipin Chandra Pal and Lala Lajpat Rai, he advocated strong action. He was imprisoned for his advocation of 'direct action' and 'self rule'. He was later instrumental in starting the famous 'Ganesh Utsav' and 'Shiv Utsav' as socially important functions in Maharasthra.

Begum Hazrat Mahal also known as Begum of Awadh, led a revolt against the British in 1857. She succeeded in capturing and gaining control over the state of Lucknow. She worked together with other eminent leaders of those times like Nana Sahib. She refused to accept any kind of favors and allowances offered by the British rulers. She used all her might for freeing the state of Awadh from the clutches of the British Raj authorities. She died in

Nepal after having taken asylum there.

Kittur Rani Chennamma, was the queen of the princely state of Kittur in Karnataka. In 1824, 33 years before the 1857 war of independence, she led an armed rebellion against the British. The resistance ended in her martyrdom and she is remembered today as one of the

earliest Indian rulers to have fought for independence.

Bharat Ratna Loknayak Jayaprakash Narayan also known as JP was a freedom fighter and political activist mostly remembered for the fight he led against the greatest test of our democracy in 1970's, The Emergency by Indira Gandhi. During the Independence struggle, he led the

left wing group within the Congress. He was jailed many times during the revolution. He died in October 1979.

Rash Bihari Bose was a fierce revolutionary leader who fought against the British imperialism in India. After a fierce bomb attack on the Governor General and Viceroy, he escaped to Japan. He formed the Indian Independence League and persuaded the Japanese to support the Indian Nationalists. He persuaded the Indian soldiers in the British Army to join the Netaji's INA .He was killed at the end of the World War 2.

Basanta Kumar Biswas was a pro-independence activist involved in the Jugantar group who is believed to have bombed the Viceroy's Parade in 1912.On 23 December 1912, Biswas, disguised as a woman, threw a bomb at Lord Charles Hardinge in Delhi. Police arrested him and he was hanged

in 1915.

Dinesh Chandra Gupta was a Bengali revolutionary who fought against British colonial rule. While he was studying in Dhaka College, Dinesh joined Bengal Volunteers - a group organised by Subhas Chandra Bose in 1928. He shot himself during the famous attack on the Writer's Building in Kolkata in 1930 so that he would not be caught and died in the jail.

Vinyaka Damodar Savarkar was a freedom fighter and right wing revolutionary whose philosophy of Hindutva sought to create an inclusive collective identity for the nation proud of its roots and deeply patriotic. Savarkar's contribution to Indian

Freedom Struggle has been immense, starting from his student days in London, where he organized the Indians

in England, and France from the famous India House, where he wrote the famous book First Indian War of Independence, inspiring Indians to remember martyrs of 1857, and motivating them to carry on second war of independence. English government at that time arrested him on political charges of waging a war against the English king, for which he was sentenced to 50 years of imprisonment in 1907 which was unheard of in Indian political circles. No Congress politician was sentenced to such a long and rigorous imprisonment. His entire life was devoted to bring India freedom, from his works and actions. He was jailed in the dangerous Andaman jails for 10 years where he was brutally tortured. He was the president of the Hindu Mahasabha for six years and strongly opposed the Partition of India. He was arrested for the assassination of Gandhiji and later let free. He died in 1966. The then Government of India completely ignored his contributions and refused to recognize him as a freedom fighter just because of their ideological differences.

Veerapandiya Kattabomman from Tamil Nadu fought against the British early in the 18th century. Kattabomma Naicker was one of the earliest to oppose British rule. After a bloody war with the British he was captured by the British and was hanged

in 1799 CE. His fort was destroyed and his wealth was looted by the British army. He along with Thanapathi Pillai and Soundra Pandian Nayak, are some of the names that the Indian history books have completely forgotten.

Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja, known as the Lion of Kerala was a prince from the royal dynasty of Pazhassi Kottayam in the late 18th century. Pazhassi Raja led a well organized guerrilla struggle against the Mysorean invaders of his land. The people of his state stood firmly behind him. He drew his fighters from the warrior as well as the tribals classes. Unfortunately, like many Indian Kings, Pazhassi also took the help of the British to fight the Mysore army. They later wanted to arrest him and Pazhassi started

a long fought war with them. He was found dead later during the attack on his jungle camp.

Velayudhan Chempakaraman Thampi or better known as Velu Thampi Dalwa was the Prime Minister

of the Indian kingdom of Travancore the reign of His Highness Maharajah Bala Rama Varma Kulasekhara Perumal. He is best known for being one of the earliest individuals to rebel against British East India Company's supremacy in India. After giving a clarion call for the people of his kingdom to take arms against the British he was chased by the British army. Finally he killed himself when he was surrounded by the army.

Madan Lal Dhingra was an Indian revolutionary freedom fighter who fought alongside Veer Savarkar. He assassinated Sir William Hutt Curzon Wyllie, a British official, hailed as one of the first acts of revolution in the Indian independence movement in the 20th century. He did it to revenge

the execution of many freedom fighters during that time. Failing to commit suicide by turning his pistol on himself, Dhingra was arrested after a brief struggle.

Kanhoji Angr was the first notable chief of the Maratha Navy in 18th century India. He fought successfully all his life against the British, Dutch and Portuguese naval interests in the Indian Ocean during the 18th century. He was called as a pirate by them. He remained undefeated until his death. He also played a role in the Maratha conflicts against the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who was campaigning in the Deccan.

Surya Sen was a prominent Bengali freedom fighter, an Indian independence activist and the chief architect of anti-British freedom movement in Chittagong, Bengal. He participated in nationwide non-cooperation movement as a revolutionary. He was arrested in February 1933 by British and was hanged on 12 January 1934.

Vinoba Bhave, called Acharya, was an Indian advocate of nonviolence and human rights. He is best known for Bhoodan Andolan. He was associated with Mahatma Gandhi in the Indian independence movement. Bhave also participated in the Quit India Movement. His most important contribution would be the Sarvodaya Movement. Towards his end days he became controversial for backing the dreaded Emergency imposed by Smt. Indira Gandhi. He in died in 1982

Bhagat Singh was an Indian freedom fighter, considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. For this reason, he is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh. As a teenager, had studied European revolutionary movements and was attracted to anarchism and communism. He became

involved in numerous revolutionary organizations. Singh gained support when he underwent a 63-day fast in jail, demanding equal rights for Indian and British political prisoners. He was hanged in 1931 for shooting a police officer in response to the killing of veteran freedom fighter Lala Lajpat Rai.

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was also known as the 'Iron Man of India'. He is the leader who guided our nation and integrated it into a united independent nation. He was India's first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. He also established the All India Services. He participated in the Salt Satyagraha and the Quit India movement and was a very important freedom fighter from the Congress party. Due to his strong views on national issues, he often clashed with the seniors leaders of the party. He even gave way to Nehru to be the Prime Minister of free India upon Gandhiji's request. He was instrumental in the restoration of the Somnath temple. He died on 15 December 1950

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is another hero of the Independence struggle who is still unspoken off

officially even today. He worked with the Congress Party and then split away from it due to differences in opinion on the biased way they looked at Baghat Singh and many other patriots’ cases. He went to Hitler and Mussolini asking for help to fight the British and liberate India. He formed the Indian National

Army and marched from Japan to India. His death is still a mystery kept under wraps by the government.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a valiant Maratha king who fought against the first invaders of our country, the Mughals. He is famous for the guerrila warfare tactics he used to defeat his enemies. He established the Maratha kingdom in 1674. He established the 'Hindavi Swaraj'. The ethics he followed on and off the battle

field was respected by his enemies even. He inspired and united the common man to fight against the tyranny of Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, by inculcating a sense of pride and nationality in them

Sri Aurobindo was a nationalist freedom fighter and philosopher. His aggressive stand on issues and

radical approach often lead to friction within the Congress. He was jailed for his activities and then later moved and settled in Pondicherry where he pursued his spiritual side. His writings and speeches became great inspiration to the freedom movement.

Mangal Pandey, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, was a soldier in the army of the British East India Company. At the time of the First War of Independence, the company introduced new rifles, which used animal fat for greasing the cartridges. Influenced by the example of his compatriots in Berhampur, Mangal Panday refused to use the greased cartridges and broke into open mutiny on March 29, 1857, at Barrackpore near Calcutta and urged his comrades to join him. Surrounded by guards and European Officers, he tried to commit suicide by shooting himself and was seriously wounded. He was court-martialled on April 6, and hanged at Barrackpore on April 8, 1857.

Tantya Tope also known as Ram Chandra Pandurang was born in Maharashtra. He became a close

compatriot of Nana Saheb and fought the British. He urged the Indian troops of the East India Company to revolt in Kanpur. He then joined hands with Rani Laxmi Bai and led the famous revolt at Bundelkhand. He was defeated and had to withdraw. He then led many small guerilla campaigns. He was betrayed

by his friend and was executed in 1859.

Rani Laxmibai was born in 1830 and was married to King Gangadhar Rao of Jhansi. After her husband's death, the British tried to annexe her kingdom. Rani Laxmibai fought a brave battle against the British. The British captured Jhansi and Rani Laxmibar was later martyred in 1858 fighting bravely. Her example is immortal in Indian history for her bravery and struggle against the British.

Maharana Pratap was a great Rajput King. The Rajputs are brave and chivalrous races who were

feudal kings in ancient India before the Mughals came. They were the first to resist the Mughal invaders and many wars were fought between the Rajputs and the Mughals. Rana Pratap led the Rajputs against the army of Akbar to preserve the independence of Mewar. Rana Pratap not only had to face the

mighty Mughals. Rana Pratap died in 1597 injured in the battlefield.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji is one of the most radiant stars in the galaxy of religious leaders. Time cannot wither nor stale the luster of the sacrifices that he made for the cause of religious freedom. His life is an inspiration and showcases all that is positive in our religious and spiritual life. He was a great poet, a mystic scholar, a fine soldier, a tactical General, and an astute politician. He consolidated the Sikhs into a body of brave fighting people with common loyalty and common purpose. He lost his sons fighting the Mughals. He died nursing a bleeding caused by a spy who stabbed him. He declared the Guru Granth Sahib as his successor.

Ramprasad Bismil was a brave revolutionary who gave up his life smilingly for the sake of the

Motherland. He was persecuted by an enraged foreign government, hunted by the police and betrayed by follow workers. And yet he lit the fire of revolution to burn down the slavery. While in jail, his mother came to comfort him and scolded him for being afraid of death. She told him to be brave

and die for the nation. He went to the gallows shouting ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ (these calls are considered communal in our days). Ramaprasad Bismil joined the select band of martyrs who dreamt of a free India and made the supreme sacrifice, so that the dream might come true.

Madame Cama was the fiery patriot who first unfurled India's flag at an international assembly. Madame Cama, Veer Savarkar and some other patriots met and designed that tricolor flag in 1905. It was flown first in 1905 in Berlin and next in 1907 in Bengal. The tricolor flag contained green, saffron and red stripes.

BharathDharshan

`mcX ZÀi\w

In the green stripe at the top there were eight blooming lotuses. The words 'Vande Mataram' in Devanagari script across the central saffron strip of the flag were a salutation to Mother India. She may be called Mother India's representative to the United States of America. She cautioned the Indian soldiers in the British Army not to fight alongside them in the First World War. Madame Cama passed away on 13th August 1936. She had fought for India's freedom. That freedom dawned eleven years after her death.

Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar was fiery patriot who was greatly influenced by the work of secret revolutionary organizations and freedom fighters during his college days. He went to prison twice. He was also a close congress worker and was also the chief in charge of the volunteer’s cadre overseeing the INC session of 1920. He later had his differences of opinion with how the congress was working and started his own organization. He was close to Tilak and Dr, Moonje who formed the rightist faction of the Congress. He sent a letter to Nehru when the INC Lahore session was taking place to include “Paripoorna Swarajya” as the main demand in the resolution being passed.

Subramanya Bharathiyar was a Tamil poet from Tamil Nadu, India, an independence fighter and iconoclastic reformer. Known as Mahakavi Bharathiyar, he is celebrated as one of India's greatest poets. His compositions helped rally the masses to support the Indian independence movement in South India. Bharathi supported the Tilak and Aurbindo faction within the Congress along with V.O.Chidambrama Pillai and Kanchi Varathaachariyar. They openly called for armed revolt against the British. He is referred to as the National Poet of India. He had to remain in exile in Pondicherry for a long period. He passed away in 1921 due to bad health that worsened after his successive imprisonments.

Bipin Chandra Pal was an Indian nationalist, among the triumvirate of Lal Bal Pal. The trio was responsible for initiating the first popular upsurge

against British colonial policy in the 1905 partition of Bengal, before the advent of Gandhi into Indian politics. He was a strong opponent of Gandhiji’s ideas on non violence and appeasement. The trio had advocated radical means to get their message across to the British,

like boycotting British manufactured goods, burning Western clothes made in the mills of Manchester or Swadeshi and strikes and lockouts of British owned businesses and industrial concerns. He died on May 20, 1932.

In Kerala also we had may stalwarts who are remembered for their contributions like V.K. Krishna Menon, Vakkom Majeed, K. Kelappan, K. P. Kesava Menon, A. V. Kuttimalu Amma, M. Kanaran, Lakshmi Sehgal, E.M.S. Sankaran Namboodiripad, A.K.Gopalan, Panampilli Govinda Menon, Accamma Cherian and many more.

So many more unknown patriots fought this war for us. The First War of Independence in 1857 ignited the fire of freedom within every Indian across the nation. So many people gave up their life across the nation at the call of our leaders and fought alongside them.

This article is not written to highlight the achievements of a few and the names not mentioned are in no way less honored for their contributions. We want you all to remember these people for what they stood for. For the courage they showed in sacrificing their lives for our nation. We need to read their stories and think to ourselves. Are we living the life they fought for? Is this what they died for? Have we actually gained our freedom or did we simply pass the baton from the British and other invaders to the hands of a corrupt system?

Our hard fought freedom and Independence was gained by the struggle of our patriots. Our freedom fighters fought for the nation without considering caste, creed, religion, language or wealth. The philosophy of Nationalism is the only motivation they had and it build their courage to give up life for the cause. We need to take cue from them and realize that the spirit of Nationalism is the only way our Nation can stand firm on its feet. Every Indian needs to feel proud of his nation, his culture and his heritage. And that is the only way we can pay tribute to these great leaders who ensured we are free today.

Stories on Sacrifice

Once Gandhiji was visiting Orrisa with a social worker Sri.Gopabandudas. They were waiting at the railway station expecting a train. A tired old tribal person dressed only in a single piece came running towards them. He had recognized Gandhiji from photos and posters. He did a pranam by touching his feet with homage. Then he dedicated one coin which was kept in his old cloth bundle. At that time Gandhiji asked what he was doing. He replied very humbly, we should dedicate something as offering when having a darshan of God. Then Gandhiji told to Gopabandhu Das, “this was the soul of Bharath”. Even when the poorest of the poor living in Bharath follows the salient feature of our Dharma, We should help our fellow human beings in need without expecting anything in return.

All Bharateeyans should follow this dharmic way of life to attain bliss in our lives.

On 03rd December 1984, at midnight deadly cyanide gas leaked out of the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal. At this time station master Mr. Dhruve was on duty at Bhopal railway station. He was on the platform giving the green signal to a train going from Lucknow to Bombay (Mumbai). At that time he felt some difficulty to breath. He looked around and saw dead dogs on the platform and saw people fainting and falling on the platform. He rushed to the control room and saw his assistant had fainted at the controls. With great difficulty and showing presence of mind he alerted all the railway stations to halt all trains moving towards Bhopal station. And if the train was already approaching he station to inform them somehow to close all doors and seal all the windows and the trains should not stop in Bhopal under any circumstances as there was something wrong in the air and people were not able to breathe. In case any train is coming this way, please inform them to close doors and windows and pass through without stopping here. The next day morning the people found Mr. Dhruve dead in the control room with the speakerphone in his hands. One hundred and nineteen people died on the train that left Bhopal towards Bombay.

With quick presence of mind he single handedly saved the lives of thousands of people by halting all train traffic to his station which he commandeered. He sacrificed his own life for the safety of his fellow human beings.

Vishnu is considered as the god of protection in hindu purana.Krishna was an avathar of Vishnu.The residents of Vrindavana were depended on Krishna to protect them.

There is a story:- Every year the people of Vrindavana worshiped

Lord Indra for supplying rain. One year when Krishna was a youth, He asked Nanda to worship Govardhana Hill instead of Indra. Krishna argued, "We do not get any special benefit from Indra.It is Govardhana Hill and Vrindavana forestsupplying us rain. Let us have nothing to do with Indra."

King Nanda finally agreed with Krishna and prepared to offer the sacrifice to Govardhana Hill. This made Lord Indra angry and jealous. Forgetting the divine position of Krishna, Indra reasoned, "These cowherd men in Vrindavana have neglected my authority on the advice of this talkative boy who is known as Krishna. He is nothing but a child, and by believing this child, they have enraged me.I will teach him a lesson". Indra then sent a heavy rain to destroy Vrindavana.All the people and animals came to Krishna for shelter, and in a miraculous show of strength, Krishna lifted Govardhana Hill with one finger to make the mountain into a huge umbrella. Everyone crowded underneath it and remained safe until the rains stopped. Later, Lord Indra realized his mistake in attacking Krishna and apologized.

Shad Garbhas-the first six babies of Devaki

Duing Vasudeva and Devaki's marriage;Kamsa was informed that the eighth son of devaki would be the cause of his death.He got scared.He thought of killing Devaki.But vasudeva promised to give all the babies that Devaki might give birth to.Kamsa's arrangements for his own protection caused disturbances for the people.

Mahavishnu knew that kamsa is going to kill the first 6 newborn babies of Devaki.Time was near for Vishnu for his eighth AVATHARA as Krishna.But he was worried about the first six babies of Devaki.

During that time sad-garbhas were resideing in patal loka.They were the sons of Kalanemi and the grand sons of Hirnya kashipu.

Sad-garbhas worshiped Brahma and got boon that they will never be influenced by any curses,and they will never be killed by Yakshas,Gandharvas,Sidhas,or Human beings.When Hiranya kashipu came to know about this he got angry for approaching Brahma instead of him,and cursed sad-garbhas when they take rebirth they will be killed by their present father Kalanemi one by one.Kamsa is the rebirth of Kalanemi.So Vishnu went to patal loka and took sad-garbha's soul and gave it to Nidra devi and asked her to send them one by one to devaki's womb.Sad -garbhas took birth as Devaki's first 6 sons and they were killed by Kamsa. When Devaki came to know that Krishna found guru Sandipani's missing son she wished to see her first six babies.Knowing his mother's wish Krishna bring those six babies back from Vaikunda.Devaki was so happy to see her babies.With his mother's permission Krishna took them back to Vaikunda.

On the ocassion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami, we would like to present to our children a short play they can adapt and present in their schools.

Shri Krishna Janmashtami

Duration: 20 minutes

Comments in italics should be spoken by the announcer of the play. The starting and ending of a scene must also be announced.

Shri Krishna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead, was born in a prison in the city of Mathura, ruled at the time by a brutal king Kansa of the Yadu dynasty, who had imprisoned his own elderly father, Ugrasen, on order to become king. He tortured all devotees of the lord and decreed that he alone was supreme. The people in his kingdom suffered under him and prayed that they be saved. Alarmed at the state of their devotees on earth, and touched by their cries for help, the Devatas, led by Indra, Brahmaji and others approached Bhagwan Vishnu in Vaikuntha.

Scene IBrahmaji: Glory to you Bhagwan Vishnu. We come

here to seek your help and blessings so that your universe can live in peace.

Bhagwan Vishnu: Glory as well to you Pitamah. Indra, please tell me why all the Devatas have come all the way to my abode.

Indra: Bhagwan, people on earth are suffering at the hands of a brutal king, who rules in Mathura, having imprisoned his own father. The Dvapar Yuga is coming to a close, O Lord. We are very worried about the future of humanity.

Bhagwan Vishnu: Fear not O Devatas. It is time for me to take avatar on earth and rid it once again of evil. I will soon take birth in Mathura to Devaki and Vasudev. I will kill Kansa and other persons of demonic character and restore peace to Prithivi Devi.

Brahmaji and All Devatas: All hail Bhagwan Vishnu, the protector of the weak and the refuge of all good men.

End of Scene IScene II

In Mathura, it is a time for festivities for Devaki, Kansa's sister, has just married Vasudev, a friend of Kansa. Kansa is overjoyed and decides to drive their chariot himself. As Devaki is leaving the royal palace, a sadhu approaches the royal procession and obstructs the

path of Kansa.

Sadhu: Kansa, you are happy today while your people weep because of your cruelty. But that day has come that I was waiting for.

Kansa: Crazy Sadhu, get out of the way. If it is gold you desire, you will be given your heart's fill.

Sadhu: I do not need your gold O wicked one. I have only come to express joy at the union of Devaki with Vasudev. It is the beginning of your end.

Kansa (laughing): Perhaps staying in the forest has caused your senses to become covered with ant-hills. Do you know that I am all-powerful.

Sadhu: Laugh all you want Kansa. Devaki's son will kill you with his bare hands.

Kansa: What nonsense! Guards, get this Sadhu out of here.

Sadhu: Kansa, Sadhus do not speak an untruth. (looking skywards) Bhagwan, please tell this wicked one that I do not lie.

Just then a akashvani (celestial voice) rings in the sky

Akashvani: Kansa, the eighth son of Devaki will slay you.

Kansa gets scared at this. He instructs his guards to immediately arrest Vasudev and Devaki. While in prison, Vasudev and Devaki give birth to six children, each of whom is brutally killed by Kansa. When Devaki is pregnant with her seventh child, Rohini, another wife of Vasudev, pays them a visit in prison and takes the pregnant child of Devaki. This child grew up to be Balaram. Through the grace of the lord, Devaki and Vasudev manage to smuggle out their eighth child out of the prison and take him to Gokul, in the house of Vasudev's friend Nanda and his wife Yashoda. Vasudev returns to the prison of Kansa. The eighth child grows up in Gokul surrounded by the cows of Nanda and the adoring love of Yashoda. He was Shri Krishna.

End of Scene II

Growing up in Gokul was fun. In the morning you took the cows out to the pastures by the holy Yamuna river. There, as the cows grazed, you played all day with the cowherds. In his leela here on earth, Shri Krishna appeared as just another cowherd. All the cowherds loved to be around Shri Krishna. When he would start playing his flute, the whole atmosphere used to become divine. The cows would forget their eating and come running. The cowherds would forget their games and fight with one another to be closer to Shri Krishna. Whoever heard the music from Shri Krishna's flute could not help but run to him.

But Bhagwan Shri Krishna never did reveal his

Bala Lokam_metemIw

divine powers to everyone. To all his friends, he was their beloved Shri Krishna. Another incident in Braj, reveals how even Shri Krishna's closest devotees could not see his divinity.

Scene III

The residents of Gokul used to worship Indra, the King of the Devatas, every year to bring good rains. Once, as the preparations for worship of Indra were about to start, Shri Krishna asked as to why Indra was being worshipped. When he was told that it was to bring in good rains, he said that they should instead worship the Govardhan Hill, because it was because of the mountain that the area got good rains. When the people started to prepare for worshipping the Govardhan Hill, Indra became furious.

Indra: How dare the people of Gokul thank anyone but me for their good rains? It is because of me that they have good rainfall. I will punish them for worshipping a mere mountain.

So saying, Indra orders a cloud to burst over Gokul. Immediately, the whole village is flooded and heavy rains lash down on the area. Shri Krishna calls for everyone to take refuge in the Govardhan Hill. He lifts the whole mountain with his little finger and the whole village gathers under the mountain. Others try and support the mountain with their bodies and sticks. However all their effort is not necessary as Shri Krishna's little finger is enough. But still they think they are supporting the mountain!

Shri Krishna: Look at the holy Govardhan Hill. It is protecting its devotees even from the rains of Indra.

People (chorus): Govardhan Parvat Ki JaiPerson 1: O Krishna, how long do we have to be like

this? Our homes are flooded and we have nothing to go back to.

Shri Krishna: Do not worry brother, all this will end very soon.

Meanwhile, all the friends of Krishna, who are using their hands, bodies and sticks to support the mountain look at Shri Krishna and see him using his little finger. Seeing this they get angry.

Friend 1: Shridama, Madhumangal, everyone, come and see this. Look, we are using both our hands and our sticks to support this heavy mountain and look at this royal prince Krishna; he is using his little finger.

Shridama: Ai Kanua (a slang for Shri Shri Krishna - the name the cowherds used for him), you think you are some royal prince?

Madhumangal: Right said Shridama. My hands are aching even as I speak and this Kanua is acting as if he is a little flower.

Shri Krishna smiles at this friends and their love, in the form of their fake anger, gives him unlimited joy. He knows their hearts because they have caused him to live there permanently.

End of Scene III

Scene IV

Bhagwan knew that he would soon have to go to Mathura to slay Kansa. When the news of his departure reached the people of Braj, everyone was broken hearted. The tears of the Gopis, the Gwalbal and others knew no stopping, what to speak of Mother Yashoda. However, just like the river Ganga does not stay in the Himalayas but flows all the way to Gangasagar, to wash the sins of millions, even so, Bhagwan Shri Krishna had to leave Gokul so other thirsting souls could get a glimpse of him.

Upon arriving in Mathura, he killed his cruel uncle Kansa and re-installed his grandfather Ugrasen on the throne of the kingdom. However, because of attacks from neighboring kingdoms, Mathura knew no peace. So Shri Krishna decided to move the capital of the kingdom to Dwarka, on the coast of Sindhusagar. Here, the people lived in peace. In due course, the Kuru dynasty of Hastinapur started preparing for a war between the Pandavas and the Kauravas.

Shri Krishna agreed to drive the chariot of Arjuna, a Pandava. Shri Krishna's army was given in the services of the Kaurava army. On the battlefield of Kruskshetra, Arjuna, seeing his grandfather, his uncles, his guru and his cousins getting ready to fight him, said to Shri Krishna.

Arjuna: O Shri Krishna, my throat is dry, and hands shake and my kneed tremble. Not because I am coward but because I am about to fight a war that I can win only if I kill those dear to me. Of what use will be a kingdom won by killing one's own loved ones?

Shri Krishna: Arjuna, such fear does not look good on a brave warrior such as yourself. It is your duty to fight this battle as a Kshatriya.

Arjuna: Bhagwan, it is said that the aim of life is to seek God. Why should I not take Sannyas, retire to the mountains and spend the rest of my life in prayer in meditation?

Shri Krishna: Arjun, you say this not because you truly seek God, but because you do not wish to slay your loved ones. In such a state, you cannot seek God. I tell you this because I know you and I am your friend. Do not fear. What you think you will destroy is only the flesh, which like clothes, the Atma ever changes in its journey towards me. The Atma cannot be destroyed.

Bala Lokam_metemIw

Arjuna: My lord, I am your devotee. But if I kill, would that not be sinful for your devotee?

Shri Krishna: Arjuna, it is fair to kill those who are aligned with the forces of falsehood and unrighteousness. Now, forget even if your are worried about Dharma and Adharma, I tell you to leave all thoughts of what is right and what is wrong and surrender yourself completely to me. Take refuge in me I will not only forgive all your sins, but I will also give you Moksha, which is the ultimate goal of life. But fight you must.

Arjuna: Bhagwan, my strength returns, thanks to your encouraging words. I am ready to pick up the Gandiva (Arjuna's bow) and I am ready for this Dharmayudha (battle for the establishment of Dharma).

In the war of Mahabharata, which lasted for 18 days, the Pandavas emerged victorious. The message from Shri Krishna to Arjuna has become immortalized as Shrimad Bhagwat Gita, which even today gives saintly advice to all who seek it, irrespective of any barrier.

End of Scene IV

Today, we are living in the Kali Yuga, the dark age. Truthfulness, dharma, kindness, these are taken as weaknesses. On the other hand, might-is-right, make-hay-while-the-sun-shines, these have become the motto of most people. In such times, it is only faith that can sustain us. Faith in Shri Krishna and faith in the words of our scriptures. Let us see how different types of people live in the present day.

Scene VThe scene is a room full of people, somewhere on

earth. One of the persons is a successful banker, another a successful lawyer. Yet another is a famous doctor and another is a pioneering engineer. They are all famous and at the peak of their careers. However, they are not happy. They are discussing their lives when a sadhu happens to listen in.

Banker: I create wealth worth millions of dollars every day. In a month, I make at least a million dollars. But I cannot say I am happy. Last month, my 5-year old son fell seriously ill and he was in the hospital for 5 days. I looked out of the hospital window and saw a man sitting on the streets begging. I thought, that beggar is happier than I am.

Doctor: I have cured hundreds of people of diseases. But it seems I have no cure for my unhappiness. My children do not listen to me and do not respect me.

Lawyer: My doctor friend, I too have helped people win lawsuits. But it seems I could not prevent my own divorce. At the divorce hearing, my wife said I was too busy fighting for my clients that I forgot to look after my own family.

Engineer: That is indeed sad. It seems like we are very successful men but are also unhappy. Alas, is there

any cure for our disease? Why hasn't money protected us from unhappiness? I wish I knew.

At this point the Sadhu looks at the four friends and addresses them.

Sadhu: Dear brothers, I have been listening to your conversation. I myself am a very poor man and I have nothing - no house, no wife, no children and no money. But I am very happy.

All Four: Then how can you say you are happy?Sadhu: I sleep under the blue sky that God has created,

I eat the fruits that grow because God waters them, and I drink the water in the rivers that God causes to flow. I live in the forest and say the name of Krishna all day. This gives me happiness.

All Four: How can having nothing and saying Krishna's name give you happiness? You need something at least to survive, don't you?

Sadhu: Brothers, you are unhappy because you put your own needs in the middle and run your life around it. I am happy because I put the source of all happiness - Krishna - in the middle and run my life around Him. When I run my life around the source of happiness itself, what else can I be but happy?

All Four: O Sadhu, we understand you. Please help us. Tell us how we too can put Krishna in our lives?

Sadhu: Brothers, do not run after your needs and desires. Think more of others and less of yourself. Practice truthfulness and be ever ready to help those in need. Krishna is pleased with very little if one's heart is pure. Take Krishna's name everyday and happiness will come to you itself.

All Four: What if we are not able to do what you say? What if we fail O Sadhu?

Sadhu: Krishna only wants you to make a sincere effort. Leave the rest to him. Take one step towards him and he will take ten steps towards you. Fear not brothers, Krishna ever hears the call of his bhaktas. Take the first small step towards the source of unending bliss. Take the first small step towards Krishna.

All Four: Thank you dear Sadhu. We will try, and if we fail, we will try again. But you have opened our eyes today. Thank you.

So saying, the four friends go back to their lives with hope in their hearts. The sadhu goes back to the Lord's forest.
